I thought this would be a good place to put this link in. It is an AP article that gives you some information on the WW2 Battleship USS Iowa. this may have been a little while ago or just recently I'm not really sure as it does not give the exact date this happened, but does make reference to the current Iraq war. It seems the good folks in San Francisco don't think the USS Iowa should be placed there as a war memorial because of the war in Iraq right now. I have to ask, are these the same people who are supporting the troops? Sorry if I put this in the wrong place but this thread seemed like a good place for it.
